Stanley POV

I started to make my way downstairs for breakfast, eggs and bacon-- my favorite. I had just got off the phone with Bill, telling him good morning and meet you at school.

We did this everyday. Even on the weekends. This is normal right? What bestest friends do?

"Morning." I greeted my parents, sitting down at the diner table, beginning to eat my food.

"As to you."

------------

I rode my bike as usual, and met up with Bill halfway.

"Um.. w-what do you think of E-Eddie and Will's r-relat-t-tionship." Bill stuttered out.

"I don't know, honestly. I can't help wether to think it's legitimate or not." I truthfully say.

"Y-yeah."

After awhile of riding, we made it to the school, Bill going the opposite direction to one of his portable classes. But what I didn't expect to see this morning, is Richie sitting on an outside bench, sobbing into his dirty sweater sleeve.

I hesitantly took a step towards him, making a crunching sound due to a dry leaf. He darted his head to me wiping his eyes from behind his glasses fairly quickly, acting as if he wasn't in fact crying.

My breathing hitched, his brown irises piercing into mine as he stood up.

".....Are you okay..?" I carefully asked.

"Why do you care?" He said scoffing and sniffling the same time. He turned around before I could respond and headed off to who knows where.

"Asshole." I mumbled to myself.

When lunch had finally made it's way into the day, ((aye that rhymes)) I took my usual spot next to Bill and was soon accompanied by the others. What Bill and I noticed just then, is that Eddie and Will were hand in hand.

I mentally scoffed as they took a seat across from us. I don't want to be that friend, but I don't really see them as a couple. I think they'd be better off as just friends, but hey, that isn't really my decision to make.

"Hey." Mike said, grabbing his lunch from his bag.

"Hey." Bill replied.

"So uhm, I saw something interesting this morning." I said, starting up a conversation.

"Oh?" Will said, cocking an eyebrow, clearly engaged.

"Richie was outside on a bench, covered in dirt, just bawling his eyes out." I shrugged, acting as if it was normal, taking a bite out of my apple.

I could tell from the moment I said that, Eddie had his full attention directed on me. He nearly choked on his food. Almost.

"How come?" Eddie asked, regaining himself.

"Who knows, he was being a dick as per usual so I didn't have the chance to ask. I don't understand why you liked him, Eddie."

Eddie choked on his food, actually this time. Both Will and Mike gave him very shocked and confused looks.

"I even have a video." I say pulling out my phone only to be stopped by Eddie's hand shoving his hand over mine, hiding it.

"STANLEY." He screeched, face red of embarrassment. He knew very well that that was the video from in the bathroom, of Richie and Eddie sucking faces.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and slid my phone back into my jean pocket.

After that, we all just ate in silence, to soon be alarmed with the bell to our next class.

"See ya." I said and walked off.

Will POV

What the hell was that video? Is all I could think about for the rest of the day.

Eddie and I have been fairly touchy lately, such as hand holding and hugging, which I of course didn't mind. I figured I would ask Stanley after school what the video was.

------------

When the bell rang, I immediately spotted Stan and Bill at their lockers, which were conviently nearby.

"Hey guys." I waved.

"Hey."

"Hey Stanley, what was that video about at lunch..?" He turned from his locker towards me after saying this.

"Oh it's nothing. Plus I don't think Eddie will be very fond of me showing you, or you  even really seeing it in general."

"Please? I really wanna know." I said practically begging.

"You'll probably regret it, but fine. Definitely not when he's around." He said, pointing at Eddie who was walking towards us. I also saw Bill giving Stan a disapproving look, him just shrugging it off.

"Hi." Eddie said, giving my cheek a kiss, in which I instantly turned a beet red.

"Hello." I said, still a bit flushed.

"So you're coming over tomorrow?" Eddie asked.

That's right. Today is Friday. I looked back at the two boys leaned up against the lockers then turned back to my boyfriend. Wow. Just thinking of the word boyfriend gives me chills, specifically Eddie's boyfriend. In a good way though.

"Yeah, I was also thinking of hanging out with Stanley after school today." I look over to Stan who gave me a look, clearly not agreeing to hanging out.

"Sure, okay. See ya tomorrow. Bye." He waved off in a happy mood, hands ahold of his backpack straps.

"Since when did I agree to hanging out?" Stanley said, shutting his locker close.

"Since now, so can I please see the video?"

"When we get to my house, Jeez. Hey, you tagging along, Big Bill?" He nodded in response and we all started to head to Stan's house.

Once there, we went to his room, and all I could admire was his big collection of bird watching books, and many journals with filled up pages.

"Y-you gonna keep standing there or a-are you gonna watch this v-vid-e-eo." Stuttered Bill, who was sitting beside Stanley on his bed.

I took a seat beside Stan, who then pressed play on the 3 minute and 57 second long video. I widened my eyes during it so much, I thought they would just pop out of my sockets.

"H-He was his first kiss?" I asked, not believing what I had just witnessed. Wow, now I'm the stuttering one.

"Guess so." Stan said, shutting off his phone. I stood up, then heading towards the door of the bedroom.

"W-where are you g-going?" Asked Bill.

"That's all I came here for, right?" I said then shut the door, exiting the Uris household.

Oooooof what do u guys think Will is gonna do/react after watching that video?? And what do you guys think Richie was upset about hmmmm?????? Lmao okay I'll stop but I do appreciate you reading my story and this too so yeah that's really all I have to say at this point soo
